Norm MacDonald
The moth joke, dirty johnny, country of germany, 9/11 compilation, ManGrate, guest appearance with courtney thorne-smith on conan.
RIP.
I didn't even know he was sick.
He kept it a secret up until his final days
Louis CK, the only man in the world funny enough to un-cancel himself
Lol true. Though it helps when half of your routine is to joke about how shitty of a person you think you are, and then it turns out that’s true, and people are like “yeah that checks out”
Bill Burr
Bill burr all the way!
I don't even have to watch his full specials. I just watch him in Conans show , and it lights me up!
This fockin guy
Ol Billy bitch tits
Taylor Tomlinson
She is consistently very good, and has excellent stage presence.
Taylor's recent "Look at you" show was hilarious. The story behind that title is amazing too!
Sorry progressive and always know when I watch her stuff that I'm in for a good time.
I'll give you two, one living, one passed.
Randy Feltface is great with crowd work.
Mitch Hedberg was a genius with delivery, and even though I've seen most of his recorded work multiple times, I still laugh out loud.
I have a chance to see Randy Feltface live in December but may have to go by myself since my one standup buddy said he "can't do puppets" lol. I mean I get the puppet hate but this isn't like Jeff Dunham, Randy is actually legitimately funny to the point that you kinda forget you're looking at a puppet.
also agreed on Mitch, RIP.
Craig Ferguson is probably my number one though. His specials aren't even that great but the three times I've seen him live have been hysterical, and his Late Late Show was legendary imo, such a quick witted mind for improv.
Loved Ferguson. His books are worth a read, too.
James Acaster
He does tickle me good
Scrolled too far without seeing Weird Al listed. He may not do stand-up but he's absolutely a comedian, and he's been making me laugh consistently for 30 years now.
- George Carlin
- Billy Connolly
- Carl Barron
Patton Oswalt. I love that nerdy little hobbit man when he really gets on a rant.
Bill Hicks
Mike Birbiglia
Nate Bargatze
Seeing him again on Saturday. Can't wait!
His childhood primed him for comedy.
Demetri Martin! One liners galore and fun visual "musical" comedy.
Jim Gaffigan
The first time I saw Beyond the Pale I thought I was gonna die laughing.
Rowan Atkinson. I'm unable to watch Mr Bean or Blackadder with a straight face. Everything he does is comedy gold.
Also the one and only Robin Williams, may he rest in peace. Watched his stand up program and spilled my drink multiple times
Bill Burr, Eddie Izzard, Diane Morgan, James Acaster, Jimmy O Yang
German: Carolin Kebekus, Kurt Krömer, Teddy Teclebrhan, Loriot (Rest in peace)
Joe Wilkinson doesn't even have to open his mouth and I start laughing
I’m not saying you’re wrong - humour is subjective. But man, I don’t think Joe Wilkinson has made me even smile. He’s a total ruiner for me in 8 out of 10 cats.
While I do find him funny, I do think that he seems to lean into one thing extremely heavily and the reaction of him is based on if you find the bit funny or not.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I honestly don't get whatever he brings to the show. People really love him, so I've always thought it was just me.
The bit where he names people's penises is apparently the funniest thing ever to air on the show, and I just don't connect to it at all.
I never found Joe Wilkinson particularly entertaining - that was until his appearance on Taskmaster which was simply sublime.
Tig Notaro
Louis CK
Mitch Hedberg (RIP)
Tim Minchin (musician but still a comedian )
Oh, man - Tim Minchin's "Inflatable You" is amazing

His "Thank You God" routine is a weekly play at my house. Someone is always going back and watching it again.
Conan O'Brien. He's just effortlessly funny, especially when he's just riffing with Sona and Matt on "Conan O'Brien needs a friend".
Don Rickles. Some of his stuff is very dated, but he skewers everyone... with love. 🙄
Mr. Warmth himself
Kyle Kinane
I saw him on Netflix and really enjoyed his set so I saw his live show and he delivered. Very funny guy. I am thinking of giving his podcast a chance although I have not heard of his cohost before. Do you recommend?
He's on a few podcasts at this point. The boogie monster, where he cohosts with Dave Stone. I like that one. He also has one with Shane Torres called No accounting for taste. That one I have not seen but I've seen shorts from and it seems funny.

Tom Segura, although his latest special is my least favourite one.
Specifically for me his Steven Seagal bit.
I agree, though the finale bit of that special had me crying with laughter
Maria Bamford.
hysterical and a great human despite difficult circumstances
Absolutely. I saw her perform once and would see her again in a heartbeat.
Mike Birbiglia
Definitely Hannibal buress is on my list
Rishi Sunak and Keir Starma, to name but two.
All feels like gallows humour.
Not stand up. David Sedaris, his life essays, not the short stories.
The Ship Shape, amiright?
"Me Talk Pretty One Day" had me audibly cackling. He's the best!
Jeff Arcuri - his funniest stuff is his crowd work so he constantly has new stuff to watch.
Jim Jefferies' childhood friend brothel story will always crack me up.
Also Australian and a master is Luke Heggie. Very dry, and worth a listen.
Sarah Millican
And her husband Gary Delaney. If you like puns, he's the current king.
Kyle Kinane
Rodney Dangerfield.
Still the king of one liners.
James Veitch
His story about the rubber ducks is awesome
Was he the one that had some sort of scandal recently?
Milton Jones. His style is basically one-liners, but he's amazing at them. If you've ever watched his appearances on Mock the Week you'll know.
Bruan Reagan and Norm McDonald are two of my favorites.
10 that I have enjoyed a lot:
- Kyle Kinane
- Hannibal Buress
- Patton Oswalt
- Mike Birbiglia
- Tig Notaro
- Matt Braunger
- Marc Maron
- Bo Burnham
- Jackie Kashian
- Tim Robinson
- Norm Macdonald
The end of the supermarket episode of Joe Pera Talks With You made me laugh harder than I have ever laughed in my life.
Patton Oswalt and Michelle Buteau. Kind of an odd pairing considering their comedy is very different, but they both make me regularly wheeze laugh.
This year I discovered Norm Macdonald and I think he's now my favourite.
Theo Vonn is also hilarious, not so much his stand up but in podcasts and general conversation.
Bill Burr is great too.
I'm going with the niche german option: Jan Philip Zymny. He is a former Poetry Slammer and writes hilarious dadaistic texts. An he can also do that spontaneous together with the audience.
And of course the german comedian Thorsten Sträter.
Joe Pera
Todd Barry
Joke answer: Peter Molyneux
Serious answer: The sadly now retired Eckart von Hirschhausen, who does comedy mostly about health and medical topics.
lol what Peter Molyneux did? I know he's a videogame designer, but I'm out of the loop
Yeah he never fails to make me laugh. 😅
My personal favourite is Jon Richardson.
Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias
Jimmy O. Yang.
Jo Koy.
There are others, but these are the most recent I've watched.
Chris Estrada. His TV show This Fool is one of the best things to watch, it's SO good.
Also Maria Bamford is a riot.
Stavros Halkias
I got to see Todd Barry on a whim one night and I was crying laughing in my seat, his crowd work is fantastic and he was absolutely skewering the local yuppies of my town.
Hajós András
Chappelle really is the goat of stand up. Bill Burr is always fucking funny. Shane Gillis is pretty funny. Nikki Glaser is hilarious too.

Frankie Boyle
Way too many these days and not in a bad way.
Kaamelott. You will need to kearn french first, but its totally worth it.
Shane gilis and Matt mcusker mostly when they're not doing stand up. The conversations are just so perfectly stupid that it cracks me up every time.
Kathleen Madigan Greg Warren Louis CK
Michael McIntyre
And generally any comedian doing a bit about raising kids.
Michael MacIntyre is the comedic equivalent of beige wallpaper
Parenthood is a bit like beige wallpaper, though; you have to be able to find the funny in it or you’ll cry every day.
Beige wallpaper is still great though even if it doesnt make many people double take in amazement.
He may not be the most challenging comedian ever but he does observational stand up at the absolute top tier.
It's broad, it's over the top, but it's still brilliant. Similar to Peter Kay really.
In my opinion anyway, there aren't many things that are as subjective as comedy so to each their own!)
Alexander babu
Bobby Lee
Ron White
You mean Ron “Tater Salad” White ?

Recently it's been Garron Noone
Lewis Black
Adam Ray, Tony Hinchcliffe, Mark Normand, Kam Patterson, Ari Shaffir
Edit: almost forgot Shane Gillis
Mae Martin.
I haven't even heard of most of these people, I've got some stand up to watch! Thanks to all who contribute.
zoltan kaszas.
very strong on the fly and always has new material, usually relevant to wherever he's performing
Donald Trump
Chappelle
YouTuber matt rose
He just collects content from social media (mainly Twitter search results & comments under Reddit posts). His added value is narration (so that people can listen only) in a unique voice, a few sarcastic remarks and occasionally some boring skits that SponsorBlock rightfully classifies as filler. He is also apparently oblivious to Reddit’s API changes (on the day of the protest, all he stated was that he hopes content returns) and the Twitter acquisition, continuing to use both and never having used content from the Fediverse.
These content-aggregating YouTubers are a dime a dozen, and I would not even call this one a comedian.
Unless your entertainment needs are satisfied with an overly long pronunciation of “skull emojiii”.
